Chrome to Remove Remaining Manifest V2 Extensions on August 31, 2026
Chrome is set to remove the last Manifest V2 extensions from its Web Store on August 31, 2026, following the complete transition to Manifest V3. The deprecation of Manifest V2 began in 2021, with significant changes implemented over the following years, culminating in the removal of support for MV2 extensions in July 2025. Users with functioning extensions will not be affected by this removal, as they have already transitioned to the new format.
